Runt 25 procent av alla barn lider av långvarig smärta. För några blir livet extra jobbigt med en nedåtgående spiral av nedstämdhet, isolering och samsjuklighet. Nu pågår en studie vid Lunds universitet för att bland annat kartlägga vilken av dessa barn som riskerar att drabbas och hur man kan hjälpa dessa barn. Idag lider runt 25 procent av alla barn i västvärlden av långvarig smärta. Det betyder

På COP-mötets första dag i Dubai togs ett formellt beslut om att inrätta en fond för att stötta utvecklingsländer att hantera klimatskador. En pragmatisk framgång för klimaträttvisa menar hållbarhetsprofessorn Emily Boyd som nu hoppas att även Sverige ska följa efter med löften om finansiellt stöd. Emily Boyd, professor vid Lund University Centre for Sustainability Studies, är en av få experter i

Att cellerna i kroppen kan förflytta sig vet man – men exakt hur de bär sig åt för att göra det har inte tidigare varit känt. Nu har forskaren i infektionsmedicin Pontus Nordenfelt vid Lunds universitet lyckats beskriva och avbilda cellernas rörelser på molekylär nivå. Detta kan på sikt få betydelse för behandlingen av bland annat infektionssjukdomar, inflammation och cancer, där cellmigration har

I ett unikt arkiv i Lund förvaras 500 djupintervjuer med överlevande från koncentrationslägret Ravensbrück, gjorda direkt efter att de ankom till Sverige våren 1945. Nu är arkivet nominerat till FN-organet Unesco för att bli ett världsminne, ett skrivet kulturarv som är av stort värde för mänskligheten. Taj Mahal i Indien, den vattenburna staden Venedig liksom Grand Canyons svindlande höjder är bå

Nyblivna mammor uttrycker att de känner sig ”lämnade vind för våg” efter förlossningen. Eftervården är ett erkänt eftersatt område inom vårdkedjan vid barnafödande. Bilden bekräftas av Socialstyrelsens rekommendationer att eftervården behöver förstärkas. En studie ledd från Lunds universitet har undersökt vad kvinnorna själva har behov av. I Sverige har eftervården vid förlossning förändrats avsev

Gig-arbete, där man tar korta och osäkra uppdrag för att få ekonomin att gå ihop, framställs ibland som en modern trend. Men det är felaktigt, menar ekonomihistorikern Marcus Falk på Ekonomihögskolan vid Lunds universitet. Dagens gig är en återgång till ett mycket äldre sätt att organisera arbete, snarare än en nyhet. Normen med heltidsarbete, att hela ens årsinkomst kommer ifrån ett enda arbete,

Can a new neighbourhood be a spearhead for sustainability if it has a huge shopping mall at its heart? And to what extent can urban planning influence the way people live in an area? In her thesis, Agenda 2030 doctoral student Alva Zalar has examined Hyllie in southern Malmö from a norm-critical perspective that interweaves architecture and queer theory. In the early 2000s, the city of Malmö decid

Why do some people oppose interventions meant to protect them from climate hazards, and what forms of resistance are available to those most vulnerable and exposed? These questions are explored in a new literature study from LUCSUS that maps where people resist climate adaptation; how, and in what contexts. It shows that resistance to adaptation occurs overtly and covertly, in both low-income and

A new research article from the project DICE, Recasting the Disproportionate Impacts of Climate Change Extremes, frames loss and damage from climate change as the failure of society's ability to maintain a sustainable development. Chad Boda, researcher at LUCSUS, explains how this framing opens up discussions on what should be sustained, and how. It also highlights how different theories of sustai

A new collaborative research project led by researchers Torsten Krause and Barbara Schröter will investigate the global value chains of cattle (meat / leather), gold, tin and palm oil - commodities that are all imported to the European market, and originally produced in Brazil, Colombia and Indonesia.

Researchers at Lund University have identified a previously unknown precursor stage of leukemia. The discovery may help explain why an especially aggressive form of blood cancer initiates already during fetal life. When we think of cancer, we usually imagine a disease that develops over many years in adults. But for one particular group of leukemia – acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) – it is quit

A study conducted by researchers at Lund University has found that protein oxidation forms an additional layer of regulation during the development of fetal blood stem cells and may play a role in the development of leukemia. The results are now available in the journal, Redox Biology. The human body is made up of trillions of cells and within each are proteins - large, complex molecules that play

"Now I dare to rejoice a little", says Sven Lidin, dean of the Faculty of Science. "The uphill task that establishment in Brunnshög had become at times is now much easier, as the whole Department of Chemistry has agreed to join in the move." Another person breathing a sigh of relief is Leif Bülow, who is in his fourth year as head of the department. These years have been marked by extensive discus

Despite the pandemic, the mood is good among those working with international students. Richard Stenelo and Louise Corrigan think it is fantastic that so many of them have managed to arrive in Lund. “They have defied obstacles such as closed airports and vacated embassies. The most creative students seem to have made it here – and these are exactly the type of students we want”, they observe. Ther
